In accordance with embodiments, there are provided mechanisms and methods for defining custom junction objects in an on-demand database service. These mechanisms and methods for defining custom junction objects in an on-demand database service can enable embodiments to provide for enhanced security and more efficient querying, etc. The ability of embodiments to provide such features may lead to these and other benefits in an on-line environment.

System, method and computer program product for defining custom junction objects in an on-demand database service

The technology disclosed describes systems and methods for optimizing delivery of form factor specific content for users in different environments, such as desktop computer browsers and mobile device applications. The technology further discloses systems and methods for providing support for developers whose goal is to render specific implementations of a user interface to deliver distinct user interface experiences.

Systems and methods of optimizing delivery of form factor specific content

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for designating objects of disparate types as favorites. In an embodiment, a cloud computing platform provides content and applications for a user to utilize for cloud computing. Users are able to designate content, applications, and/or contexts (i.e., a combination of content and applications) as favorites. By storing metadata related to these disparate data types, the cloud computing platform is able to generate an inclusive list of favorite objects that users may utilize to retrieve specific graphical user interfaces. The cloud computing platform is also able to provide specific layout recreation by allowing users to designate a context as a favorite object.

System and method for designating multi-object favorites

Systems and methods for automatically polling for data changes in an on-demand database service environment. A polling server communicates with application servers and client systems. Application servers send update messages to the polling server identifying which database objects have been updated, and client systems communicate with the polling server on a regular basis, rather than with the application server, to determine whether updates to a data object may have been made. When it has been determined that an update may have been made, the client system then sends a refresh request to the application server to request an update to the data object, thereby controlling (e.g., reducing) the number of refresh requests sent to the application server.
